New Toys...

[illacov]

Finally got my ass in gear and paid off some outstanding purchases.

Which have resulted in the impending arrivals of...

***G.A.S. UPDATE***

Kenetek 1176 w/ UTC transformers

Kenetek ART PRO VLA II Modded with Stancor Iron and Electronics upgrade

Lester 1959 Spinet Piano

Rhodes 73 Suitcase

and possibly a modded Ampex 601 preamp to wash it all down.

***G.A.S. update ended***

My John Peluso modded V76t with PK67 capsule, electronics upgrade and Cinemag transformer upgrade with grille mod. I hope it kind of has that modern tone that everybody is chasing with all the new vintage style mics that keep cropping up. I am hoping its in the U47 or better neighborhood.

From what I heard the capsule gets used in Peluso's stereo mic. We'll see how that goes for me.

A racked pair of Yamaha PM700 channel strips with a 48v mod.

As well, for tax time. I'm getting an 8 track reel to reel. Can't wait to order a reel of SM468 from Dupespec.

And a local sound company is offloading their pristine Soundcraft K1 36 input console to me for a very good price. I am very much trying to budget for 8 channels to be sent to Creation Audio Labs so they can upgrade my money (mono) channels in time for me to mix my latest project.

I am planning on using the console with my 24 channel summing unit, crafted by fellow Gearslutz member John Suitcase. I figure I may not be using all 36 channels on the console at the moment, but the last 12 channels could definitely help out with monitoring.

So to recap.

Peluso modded V76t mic

a pair PM700 racked preamps

8 track reel to reel

36 input Sound craft K1 console.

Kenetek 1176

Kenetek ART PRO VLA II Mod

Lester Spinet Piano

Fender Rhodes 73 MKI

Modded Ampex 601 preamp.

This is me making a contribution to the economy!
